Type of RAM w/ 8RDA+ and AMD XP 2400+

[clamum]

I'm sure someone will be able to answer quickly:

Can I use PC2100 DDR RAM with an Epox 8RDA+ and AMD XP 2400+ processor? If not, what should I get, PC3200?

Since that's a 133MHz FSB processor, PC2100 will work fine as long as you're running at stock speeds. However, if you want to overclock then you should go for something faster.

that motherboard has separate fsb settings for cpu, memory and agp. so you can run all of them at different speeds.

Some athlone XP processors with 266MHZ FSB(133MHZ bus), others with 333MHZ FSB (166 bus),so you need to check out what kind of Athlone Processor you have,and depend on that,choose PC2100 or PC2700,But it not neccssary to choose PC3200
